I have never been happy with most of the knife handles that come on carving knive.For a year or so I have been trying to make a handle I liked and have found a shape that works really well for my hand. Most carving knives I have purchased generally have a straight top with the bottom of the handle curving down and then curving back up to a some what pointed tail with a smooth grip. These shapes tend to twist in my hand when I am using force andif my hand is a bit sweaty. The shape I have found works best for me I call a fish tail handle. As you can see the handle is higher on the top or back of the knife, this way it fits better in to the hollow of my hand. Then It tapers more from the top down to flat or fish tail shape. The flat tail fit against the back of the palm and does not let the handle twist. I do not know if any one else would want tomake this but I thought I would share.
